Audi A6 vs. Volvo V70 Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the Audi to the dealership as the Volvo V70. With respect to gas mileage, the Volvo V70 is slightly better than the Audi A6, but not by much. The Volvo V70 is substantially less costly than the Audi A6 regarding MSRP.

Utility
Neither the Volvo V70 nor the Audi A6 has a marked advantage when it comes to seating capacity.

Convenience
You'll most certainly take the Volvo V70 for a fill-up almost as often as the A6.

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the Volvo V70's front cabin compared to the Audi A6. The A6 is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the Volvo V70.

Dimensions
The Audi A6 is significantly heavier than the V70. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Audi A6 than the Volvo V70 because of its bigger tank. The V70 and the A6 compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, the Audi A6 is a true sports car.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Volvo V70 and the Audi A6 quite certainly handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Audi A6 and the Volvo V70 have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the Volvo V70. The Volvo could learn a lesson or two from the A6 as far as torque.

Warranty
The Audi A6 and the Volvo V70 have the same basic after-sale protection.
